Ultimate Sacrifice 

The most selfless act one can manage.
An even greater honor than The Presidential Medal of Freedom.

This is when you give your life up so one can keep theirs. A true hero.
The ultimate sacrifice can be performed by:

Taking a bullet for one you love

Shoving them out of the path of an oncoming vehicle in exchange for you being hit

Serving as a human shield in any sort of attack

--
A mother will often perform the ultimate sacrifice by instinct

Ultimate Sacrifice 

The Ultimate Sacrifice is an extremely patriotic & heroic devotion to one's country, particularly in the United States of America. The Ultimate Sacrifice is what you make of it, but generally it is on an extreme level, exceeding that of death.
"If you want the definition of patriotism & an example of the Ultimate Sacrifice, play Metal Gear Solid 3 : Snake Eater."

Ultimate Sacrifice 

An act of selflessness that exceeds all others, as you are willing to put the lives and sanctuary of others above yourself, to the point where you are willing to let your life be claimed if it means that the lives of many are spared. Some are informed of the Ultimate Sacrifice when they enlist, but others may never be reminded of it. Regardless, Memorial Day is in observance to those who saved many lives in the line of duty, but unfortunately, they never got to see the fruits of their labor.
To be willing to die to save another... That is the Ultimate Sacrifice.

Hooking up with the dirty one is known as making "the ultimate sacrifice".

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
